Sam Armytage hits back at fashion sledge

A PHOTOGRAPHER and filmmaker from Queensland posted a picture on Twitter this morning, comparing Channel Seven presenter Samantha Armytage's outfit to the iconic "pirate shirt" worn by Jerry Seinfeld in his hit TV sitcom.

Armytage wore the white shirt with a pussy bow on Sunrise this morning, prompting Peter Wallis to post his tweet:

The protesters in the background of the open set on the Gold Coast beach screamed at Armytage, warning her they were "coming for her in her dreams" and that they were going to "write a letter and get her fired" so Ernie Dingo could replace her.

Samantha Armytage and David Koch had a difficult time on the Gold Coast during the Commonwealth Games open broadcast.

One particular elder, who was in charge of the indigenous group, tried calling for calm a number of times as some of the louder protestors called her a "c**t", a "racist, f***ing pig" and a "white b**ch".

Dressed in a Stolenwealth Games T-shirt, the elder told them to "watch their language" if they wanted to stay on TV and reminded them to "save their voice" in the ad breaks so they could be especially loud when the hosts were actually on air.

When the elder told the group they were going to leave in 25 minutes, the same time Sunrise would finish, one woman said she wasn't leaving until Armytage gave her an apology.

"They need to take accountability" she said.

Things took a turn for the worse when a little girl shouted a compliment to Armytage and she turned around and gave her a brief wink and smile.

"Why won't you look at us Sam, you're dividing us," they yelled, as fans of the show stood to the left while protesters stood to the right.
